I am a big hummingbird fan and I've been taking hummingbird photos for many years. I started taking hummingbird photos with my old Olympus C-2100 many years ago and now I upgraded the camera to Nikon D-50. Thinking that it might be a little easier to shoot hummingbirds with a DSLR, it turned out to be another huge challenge for me.Not only you'll need a good lens for this kind of shootings, but you'll need a good patience and that is the major key to create an opportunity to catch her.

Just like humans, they all seem to have a different personality. Some are easy going,and some will give you a hard time to shoot. Once thing common in the hummingbird community is that thay are all territorial. The hummingbird home owners are always watching their property and if any visitor comes into their territory, then they will fiercely chase the outsiders down.Well, that's when you lose an opportunity to take a hummingbird photo. And a funny thing is that the hummingbird home owners show their angry face when some outsiders trespass their properties.
